    The wave of technology is truly allowing us to experience modern convenience like never before, but our high-tech havens need to be secure. Smart home convenience is nothing without peace of mind.

    With smart device integration done right the possibilities are endless and we can leverage these devices to keep control and maintain a secure environment.

     

    Today, we will talk you through 5 of the best devices that are security and control-focused.

     

    By integrating our top suggestions you can transform your living space, enhance safety, simplify the daily grind, and manage your energy efficiently, so let’s begin.

     

    1. Bolstering Security with Smart Cameras

     

    In an article about smart home security cameras is the obvious place to start. The peace of mind that a smart camera can bring is unparalleled.

     

    Smart cameras let you check in in real-time to put your mind at ease and get a heads up should anyone approach your home whether you are inside or not. They also act as a great deterrent for passers-by who might have bad intentions.

     

    Features To Prioritise

     

    You want to look for modern smart cameras that have high-definition video capture for both daytime and nighttime and motion detection.

     

    Those that come with an integrated mobile app allow for more advanced monitoring and let you review live footage. They can also allow you to interact with visitors remotely, which is great if an intruder comes to snoop.

     

    Security System Benefits

     

    With a smart camera integrated into a wider smart home setup up, you can link doorbells and lighting and have a security ecosystem. If your bell is activated you can interact with whoever is on the doorstep.

     

    An interconnected approach has greater security benefits. With just a few devices, you can set the camera to trigger security lights and flood your porch when motion is detected, which will surely send anyone suspiciously away. These devices make your home less of a target.

     

    2. Securing Entry Points with Smart Locks

     

    We have moved on from your traditional lock and key systems. Smarter entry systems that were once reserved for business edifices are becoming the new norm.

     

    They meld convenience and security into another must-have item for the modern smart home dweller.

     

    How Do Smart Locks Work?

     

    Smart locks provide keyless entry to your home by utilising Bluetooth or Wi-Fi signals. Many integrate directly with your smartphone.

     

    Some allow you to open your home with a voice command making getting through the door while loaded up with shopping as simple as saying “open sesame”.

     

    They can be as simple or complex as you dare, with the simplest being keypad systems and the more advanced requiring biometrics such as facial or fingerprint recognition.

     

    Next-Level Security

     

    When you pair a smart lock system with your camera, you can truly control access to your home with next-level security.

     

    They allow you to grant temporary access for those scheduled to meet with you or stay in your home to play or pet sit.

     

    The most reassuring benefit they bring to the table is that they let you visually vet unexpected guests and service providers.

     

    3. Control Your Energy with Smart Lighting

     

    While smart lighting is typically considered an aesthetic, smart home element, your lighting provides home security as well.

     

    The aesthetic benefits when you are lounging around also make your home’s ambience all the more enjoyable and there are real energy savings to be made as well.

     

    Schedule & Customise The Ambience

     

    A crook looking for a home to target will typically check out homes without lighting. They are wise to leave the TV blaring or the lounge lights on while they are away to mimic occupancy.

     

    Smart lighting means you can switch it from room to room on a schedule, making it appear as though someone is always home.

     

    When you are occupying it, it is convenient to adjust your surroundings via your phone or at the command of your voice, which means you can truly relax and enjoy your downtime.

     

    Better Energy Efficiency

     

    Smart lights reduce energy consumption without you having to remember to go around and check that everything is switched off.

     

    Scheduling and lumen control can potentially reduce overall lighting costs by 35% to 70%.

     

    4. Centralising your Devices with a Smart Home Hub

     

    Of course, the thought of integrating so many aspects into your home can be daunting for some and the aim of the game is convenience, right?

     

    Fortunately with the use of a smart home hub as the command centre, you can simplify everything. With the ease of use they provide, it is no wonder that the number of smart hub users increased last year by 38%.

     

    Features to Prioritise

     

    Look for a smart hub that lets you set routines, that are cross-device and cross-platform compatible so that you can expand.

     

    If you can find an intuitive one with a built-in AI assistant, then set-up, management, and maintenance will be a breeze.

     

    Automate for Ease

     

    Instead of running each device from its dedicated app, a hub allows you to automate everything from one point. It’s a “one app to rule them all” kind of deal that makes inter-device communication much less of a headache!

     

    5. Efficiently Securing Networks with Smart Routers

     

    Ultimately, the security and efficiency of your smart home devices depend on the network connections they use to communicate.

     

    So a smart router with a secured network is the way to go to make sure your smart home has the foundations it needs to work seamlessly and keep your data protected.

     

    Network Security

     

    Every device you add to your smart home set-up is a potential cyber-security risk, but a smart router can ensure network security and reduce the overall risk.

     

    For further protection, you might want to set up VPN router integration to encrypt and protect devices and data.

     

    Fast Reliable Connections

     

    A smart router can also help with bandwidth allocation for each device to make sure nothing non-priority is hogging the line. This means your home will function more efficiently, and your connections will stay fast and reliable.

     

    Conclusion

     

    By combining convenience and safety the 5 smart devices we have highlighted in today’s write-up can help you run a secure convenient household.

     

    Lay the foundations with a smart router to control your networks, run commands from a smart hub, and get those entry points protected with cameras and lights working like a dream team to secure your modern home.
